My name is Doug D18225!

My name is Doug.

From his foster: Doug is super sweet, happy, loving and playful - everyone that has met him, loves him. He's always excited to meet new people (is learning not to jump), eager to learn, treat motivated and very gentle when taking food from your hand. When you need him to be calm, he settles right in and loves to snuggle on the couch but likes his bed too / he sleeps in the best but weirdest positions. He very much enjoys car rides (but not the car wash!) and always loves being in our presence. We do not kennel him. He loves to meet us with a toy when we come home and "talks" to us with the squeakers. He is a VERY good dog and will be a loyal companion.

Doug is intelligent and loves learning and praise. He lived between the city and a farm so likes to chase rabbits and squirrels; he becomes quite distracted in the yard and while walking, etc., we are working on that with a slip lead and harness. We heard he can jump fences although he has not jumped ours, but he hops like a deer so we believe it! Doug does not "ask" to go outside - his previous owner slept *a lot* and he stayed right with her so he is very used to holding his bladder. He's been with us since July and has never had an accident in the house. Although we know he lived temporarily with large breed dogs and did well, we have not witnessed him with other dogs so cannot answer the questions below honestly - the same goes for children although he hasn't shown aggression towards anyone in our home or yard.
